Frida Kahlo: Courage Personified by Angela L Walker

Frida Kahlo: Courage Personified by

“The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.” Frida Kahlo

This is my digital interpretation of the world renown artist who paved the way for many of us.

This picture was created using a photograph I sent to my new Motorola Droid 3 cell phone via email and then edited using the effects feature that came with the phone. A specific name for the software is unavailable; it came with the phone and is not an added app. I also used Corel Painter Essentials to increase the size and resolution for uploading here on RB.

About Angela L Walker

I am a mixed-media artist who is equally at home with a wide range of techniques, including printing with commercially available and self-designed stamps, and a multitude of materials, including paint, ink, canvas, clay, paper, fabric, beads, wire, and wood. I’m also a poet, often working intuitively by weaving wisdom and experience into many of my art projects.

    Great rendering of one of her portraits! I went to her exhibition here in Gothenburg only last month and I am a great admirer of her work and her courage!!!

  • Thanks so much, Helua! After I became a co-host for the Obsessed with Frida Kahlo group, i really wanted to learn as much as I could about her and try my hand at a piece in honor of her. I really appreciate your comments on this digital interpretation of one of her famous self-portraits.
